Recent years have seen a slow but steady revival of the music of Sergei Bortkiewicz (1877‐1952), Ukrainian composer and pianist, oppressed by the Nazis and Soviets, refugee and survivor of two World Wars, composer of wonderfully rich, appealing and colourful music in the Romantic tradition of Chopin, Liszt and early Scriabin.
This CD contains the 2nd and 3rd Piano Concerto. The 2nd piano concerto is for the left hand, written for pianist Paul Wittgenstein who lost his right arm in WWI. It was Wittgenstein’s favourite concerto of the many works he commissioned (a.o. by Ravel). The 3rd Piano Concerto, written in 1926, is headed “Per aspera ad astra” (through hardship to the stars), which is presented in the gradual unfolding from a dark C minor to a high and luminous C major at the end of the work, including organ and bells, the affirmation of light conquering darkness. Excellent performances by pianist Stefan Doniga and the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by David Porcelijn. “Stefan Doniga drives the music onward fearlessly and make the best possible case for both works”.
Composer: Sergei Bortkiewicz
Artist: Stefan Doniga (piano), Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra and David Porcelijn (conductor)

It is very interesting that for the revival of Bortkiewicz's music, a Ph.D. from the University of Bombay mr. Bhagwan Nebhraj Thadani has done a great job. Did you know that?) The merits of your compatriot are undisputed for the return of this composer to modern Ukrainian and world musical culture.

Un complesso di atmosfere fataliste, magniloquenti, colme di residui mitteleuropei, che avvolgono come in un nobile feuilleton a tinte vivide, fiammeggianti, un profluvio melodico di impronta post- rachmaninoviana. Ascolto piacevolissimo, grazie di questa proposta.

I like this. With lesser known romantic composers the problem often is that they start out great, but then after 3 minutes the moment of truth comes: do they have something more to say or will the rest just be a repetition, often just more of the same virtuosity. In this case the moment of truth appears at minute 4 when the energy of the introduction is gone and something new has to start. The composer then chooses a very classical and modest approach, with a simple theme that he can gradually develop. Basically it is this modesty and honest intentions that keep the music going from then on, more than great melodies or inventions.

Fine as they are, neither of these concertos comes anywhere near No.1 which is a truly great work and deserves to be played at least as often as the Tchaikovsky or the Grieg. The best performance of No.1 which I know is by Stephen Coombs and the BBCSSO conducted by Jerzy Maksymiuk. Well worth checking out.

@@DavidA-ps1qr , play it with both hands is interpritation. I agree with you, that the composer's thoughts are important, but I do not understand, why do the do it for one hand? They seem to have two hands. In my opinion, concerts for one hand are incomplete.

@DavidA-ps1qr 8 ай бұрын

@@ludwig2019- It doesn't have anything to do with the composer's thoughts. It's the music the composer has written down that matters and this piece was deliberately written for one hand not two. It's like saying that Beethoven's violin concerto would sound better if two violins played it instead of one.

Sorry, this writing is a big distance from how Rachmaninoff wrote music. Check the structure and you'll see why. Never wise to compare one composer's music to another (friendly advice).

@DavidA-ps1qr 2 жыл бұрын

@@dergeradeweg1413 Bortkiewicz, like Rachmaninov was not a "modernist" and sits comfortably in a similar genre. True there is a slight similarity between the two in the accompanying left hand writing, only Bortkiewicz's is inverted. If anything, technically his music is closer to early Scriabin than it is to Rachmaninov's. However, there are also influences of Tchaikovsky, Debussy and Chopin. And in the 3rd Concerto, Beethoven (see Piano Sonata in C minor Op111), and even Wagner in the 1st Piano Concerto. If you pick music to pieces you can hear influences of all sorts of other composers in everyone's music, which is why it's best to keep quiet and just enjoy the piece your listening to for what it is. And this is a lovely Piano Concerto.

С чего это Борткевич оказался украинским композитором. Харьков не был украинским ни по языку, ни по культуре, ни тогда, ни сейчас. Базовое образование получил в питерской консерватории. Или Санкт-Петербург теперь тоже город "щеневмерлы"?

Все концерты Борткевича - это перепевы украинских народных мелодий и песен. Он творил абсолютно в рамках украинской культуры того времени. Прекрасный композитор, жаль, так мало известен и исполняем!

@@user-xo1yo5yu8m расскажите пожалуйста поподробнее о том, какие именно украинские песни "перепеваются" во "всех концертах Борткевича"? В каких местах этой записи их можно услышать? По национальности и культуре тоже есть вопросы. У Борткевича отец - поляк, родился он в Харькове, учился в Санкт-Петербурге и в Лейпциге. Почти всю жизнь прожил за границей (в основном в Берлине и в Вене). Гражданством украинским не обладал. С 1926 года поменял российский паспорт на австрийский. Написал много красивой музыки. Австрийскую сюиту, Югославскую сюиту, но ничего украинского.

@@user-xo1yo5yu8m википедия это помойка. Каждый пишет, что хочет. И что? Борткевич ждал пока начнет существовать Украина целых (!) четыре года, чтобы написать все свои произведения? Только об этом и думал, учась в петербургской консерватории. Украинская культура - это часть русской культуры, также как культуры других народов прошлой и настоящей Российской империи.
